Whether you love sand between your toes, a hiking trail under your boots, or the thought of the crystal clear Adriatic splashing off your paddle, there is something for everyone to love in Croatia.

Despite it’s many faults, Game of Thrones did entice us with the beauty of Croatia, thanks to it being the setting of King’s Landing.

What began as a vacation soon became a metaphor for our lifestyle as we tackled the Amalfi Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and Rome with such enthusiasm that we both returned home, stuffed full of superb Italian cuisine, gelato, wine, and yet pounds lighter and leaner. I could host exotic “FitCations” for those who want to maintain a fitness regimen while on vacation.

I didn’t expect my FitCation to ruin other vacations, but I am so glad it did! Read why everyone should experience a FitCation at least once in their lifetime.
